They're like the superhero cape for your content, making it not only accessible for everyone but also grabbing attention even when the volume is turned down.

How to Automatically Add Animated Subtitles to Social Media Videos

1. Log into Zubtitle and upload your video

If you already have an account with Zubtitle, just log in! If you’re new, you can easily create a free account here. Once you’re logged in, simply upload your social media video to get started. 

2. Navigate to the Text Motion menu

As soon as your video is uploaded, you’ll be automatically navigated to the Text Editor menu where you can view and edit your captions and headline. If you look at the menu on the right-hand side of the screen, you’ll see the Text Motion menu.

3. Create your animated subtitles

Once you’ve clicked on the Text Motion menu, you’ll see a dropdown menu with two options for caption animation styles. The Appear option animates your captions to show up one after the other as you speak each word.

OR you can choose the Highlight option, which adds a pop of color to each word, allowing you to customize both the Text and Fill colors. Whichever option you choose, you can preview the animation styles in real-time as you edit.

4. Render your video

Once you’re happy with your animated captions, just resize your video for Instagram Reels and it’s ready to download!

Pro tip: Don’t forget to use our Duplicate feature so you can easily resize and repurpose your content for other platforms!
